Synopsis

Annabel is about to marry the perfect man . . .

The last thing Miss Annabel Wheaton desires is true love. She learned the hard way that love makes a woman foolish and leads only to heartache. Thats why she agreed to marry an earl who needs her money. Hes got a pedigree and a country estate, and he wont ever break her heart. Theres only one problem . . .

Christian isnt about to let her marry that pompous prig . . .

Christian Du Quesne, Duke of Scarborough, thinks the stubborn heiress is about to make the biggest mistake of her life, and hes determined to stop her. Tempting beautiful women is Christians forte, after all. When her family offers him a nice sum of money to stop the wedding, hes happy to accept.

Falling in love with Annabel was never supposed to be part of the bargain . . .
